Disease relevance of Picornaviridae

 

High impact information on Picornaviridae

  • Since translation of FGF-2 mRNA was previously shown to occur by internal ribosome entry, a nonclassical mechanism already described for picornaviruses, the cross-linking patterns of FGF-2 and picornavirus mRNAs were compared [6].
  • A 49-amino-acid region of eIF-4 gamma, located in the N-terminal side of the site of cleavage by Picornaviridae protease 2A, was found to be sufficient for interacting with eIF-4E [7].
  • Compared to the control group, the immunoglobulin complementarity determining regions possess a relative excess of serine residues whereas picornaviruses suppress serine but overuse threonine residues, suggesting that the differing selective pressure has led to perturbations in the population of amino acid types on the surface of these proteins [8].
  • The functional properties of the nonstructural 2A protein are variable among different picornaviruses [2].
  • Poty- and picornaviruses share similar genome organizations and polyprotein processing strategies [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Picornaviridae

  • Expression of polioviral protease 2A is sufficient to induce p220 cleavage, and the presence in 2A of an 18-amino-acid sequence representing a putative cysteine protease active site correlates with the ability of different picornaviruses to induce p220 cleavage [10].
  • These results suggest that there are differences in the involvement of COPI in the formation of the RCs of various picornaviruses, corresponding to their differential sensitivity to BFA [11].
  • The effect of bafilomycin A1 on other members of the Picornaviridae family was also assayed [12].
  • Site-directed mutagenesis experiments revealed that the RHDV protease closely resembles the 3C proteases of picornaviruses with respect to the amino acids directly involved in the catalytic activity as well as to the role played by histidine as part of the substrate binding pocket [13].
  • A tyrosine at this relative position is conserved among all calicivirus VPg proteins examined thus far, suggesting that the VPg protein of caliciviruses, like those of picornaviruses and potyviruses, utilizes tyrosine in the formation of a covalent bond with RNA [14].
 

Biological context of Picornaviridae

 

Gene context of Picornaviridae

  • These results suggest that the cleavage of PABP may be another mechanism by which picornaviruses alter the rate and spectrum of protein synthesis [20].
  • Three other regions in the PYFV polyprotein have sequence similarity to regions thought to have RNA polymerase, NTP-binding and protease functions in the polyproteins of picornaviruses, comoviruses and nepoviruses [21].
  • Infection of cells by picornaviruses results in proteolytic cleavage of eIF4G and generation of a cap-independent translational state [22].
  • Several picornaviruses shut down host cellular protein synthesis by proteolytic cleavage of the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4GI and eIF4GII isoforms [23].
  • Here we demonstrate that cytoplasmic expression of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin), plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2), affords a high level of protection from lytic infection by multiple human picornaviruses [24].
